Papers
Assembly of the Mycobacterial Cell Wall.
TL;DR: Recent biochemical and molecular insights into the large macromolecular structure, termed the mycolyl-arabinogalactan-peptidoglycan complex, and the phosphatidyl-myo-inositol-based lipoglycans are focused on.

The Mycobacterial Cell Wall—Peptidoglycan and Arabinogalactan
TL;DR: The microbial chemistry of this unique heteropolysacchride is explored, the molecular genetics that underpins its fabrication are examined, and how the essential biosynthetic process might be exploited for the development of future anti-TB chemotherapies are discussed.
Dissecting the Antimicrobial Composition of Honey.
TL;DR: The constituents of honey are outlined and how they affect antibiotic potential in a clinical setting to facilitate the development of an optimally antimicrobial honey by either synthetic or semisynthetic production methods.

Effect of Amoxicillin in combination with Imipenem-Relebactam against Mycobacterium abscessus
Rose C. Lopeman,James Harrison,Daniel L. Rathbone,M. Desai,Peter A. Lambert,Jonathan A. G. Cox +5 more
TL;DR: Increasing the susceptibility of the organism to amoxicillin, by repurposing the β-lactamase inhibitor, relebactam, in combination with the front line M. abscessus drug imipenem, and establishing by multiple in vitro methods that this combination works synergistically to inhibit M.Abscessus.
